 The IAEA Board of Governors met this week at the agency's headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Director General Yukiya Mano briefed member states on issues, including nuclear verification in Iran. For the second time, since implementation of the JCPOA began, Iran's inventory of heavy water exceeded 130 metric tons. Iran has since made preparations to transfer a quantity of heavy water out of the country under the verification and monitoring of the agency. Mr. Amano highlighted activities to help countries meet development challenges through the use of nuclear technology and reported on the agency's response to the outbreak of the Zika virus. Our research into ways of further developing the sterile insect technique against the ADIS mosquito, which transmits Zika, has been intensified. Next week, I will visit Brazil, which has been seriously affected by the Zika virus. I look forward to learning more about the situation and about the impact of the assistance which we are providing. The Director General also referred to the next month's IAEA International Conference on Nuclear Security. Preparations for the International Conference on Nuclear Security are in their final stages. It will take place in Vienna from December 5th to the 9th. The Board of Governors meets five times a year. It plays an important role in the IAEA's policymaking. In Vienna, Austria, this is Alexandra Napanich reporting for the IAEA.
